Do the CyberPower PFC Sinewave UPS's have the ability (while unplugged from a power source) to power up off of the battery? (Cold start).

If you mean, can the UPS, if charged, be powered on and used to run electronics when unplugged, the answer is yes. And while I haven't exactly tried it myself, I believe that you can start a computer or other device from "cold" while unplugged as well. The only caveat as far as I know is that it not draw more wattage / VA than the unit can supply during start up.

It does not. It runs constantly when switched on. I have mine remotely controlled by a Lowes IRIS smart plug to start it from my cell phone before I arrive at my beach condo. It seems to be a pretty heavy duty device, however, and I have no hesitation in letting it run for several days in a row without being in attendance.Hope this helps!Don

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

The spec sheet (http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems/pfc-sinewave-series/CP1500PFCLCD.html?selectedTabId=specifications&imageI=#tab-box) says the battery is 8.5AH @ 12V, so 102WH (Watt Hours). Arbitrarily say that you can convert from battery to AC at 85% efficiency, so you have about 86WH. 86WH / 120W = about 0.72H, or 40 minutes, best case. I couldn't find specs on the max wattage allowed per power outlet, but I doubt that the limit is 120W...

Not that I know of. Anything plugged in has a battery back up. I am in an area of frequent power failures. More than one a month and it has not been a problem with the security system. You could call GE, I think it is GE/Jasco for the security system. Sorry I don't have the number with me. They are very helpful.

The UPS also acts as a surge protector. A few of the plugs are supported by the battery power backup and others are just surge protected.

I have actually tested this but not with UPS's that have Pure sine wave. When I tested this with cheaper ups's it resulted in damage to the second inline ups. Also both batteries drain at the same rate so does not give you double the time left. There are ups's that are actually made to be run in series but those are expensive as we use them in our office at work. Those are made different then these.

Yes, but I use the battery alone without the plug in power. My shop is off grid so it is nice that I don't need to plug it in.

If UPS = Uninterruptible Power SupplyHubby says to turn off the auto throttle switch on the generator.

Yes, had the same issue. The problem isn't with the UPS systems but the devices power sync modes. When the computer goes into a low power state, such as kicking from normal power to UPS, it kicks the device into power saver mode and shuts down. I fixed my issue over a year ago and unfortunately don't remember exactly what is was that resolved it, but it was from this forum thread. Good Luck http://forum.mediasonic.ca/viewforum.php?f=22

Yes, but is not something you have to get out and re-charge. I guess it does it automatically, so when your power goes out it stays programmed.

I use mine in my uninterruptable power supply. The UPS keeps it fully charged for use when needed.

You can power up by pressing and holding the record key. It only takes 3 seconds to start recording from the power off state! I found this by accident.

That's totally dependant on how much power your pulling from the battery. If you're using a 600 watt power supply and running a monitor and external souund system you'll probably get about a minute or two. If you connect the ups to your computer with the supplied usb cable it can start the shut down automatically. Also whenever you connect the ups to your computer it'll tell how much power you're using and how much on battery run time you'd have. Hopefully this will help your decision process.

Different UPS systems have different maintenance cycles. Just had to replace the battery in a smaller, consumer level UPS after about 3 years of service, it is now back in use and working fine. At work we used a 2 year maintenance cycle. A UPS would be rather useless if it didn't have circuitry to monitor both power quality in and battery working state. This CyberPower unit has been nothing less than awesome so far.

None - it's USB. From their site: "The user selectable ECO mode removes power to computer peripherals connected to the ECO designated outlets when the UPS detects the computer, connected to the UPS via USB, is turned off or in sleep mode."

NO. The power supply is not interrupted. If your vehicle port charges when it is off, you should be fine. But also consider that leaving it for extended times can drain your battery.
